I mean ... I'm a size 18W or 20W, and what with the Internet and all, there are already lots of options out there for all different tastes. Even rompers! Every department store has a large Women's section that's usually the same or larger than Juniors. I honestly wish her the best, but I'm not sure what fresh insights Ashley would bring to the ready-to-wear table, or even why everyone seemed to agree that there are such slim (ha!) plus size pickings in the first place. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding and she's intending to do haute couture.

I was wondering how differently Dr. Pol would have treated that goat out on a farm call. A very different outcome is my guess, but overall I really enjoy seeing all the different practice types. Dr. K is performing surgery on a fish next week! These vet shows have really made me think about the way we as a society pamper and indulge certain animals yet kill and eat millions of others. It's been nice to comfortably settle back into Dogtown again on its new channel -- all the same staffers we followed before are still there! I do miss seeing the cats, birds, and other animals, but I'll take what I can get. They did cut the air time down to 30 minutes.

Lura, if it makes you feel any better, I hope if you're murdered in your home, the killer tosses the place so the police can't tell it used to be flattop cluttered. You're welcome. I suppose it's getting close to New Year's so I should make a resolution about doing the dishes. I know -- KNOW! -- it would be just as easy to fill as I go, but for some reason I always dump my dirty dishes in the sink for 2-3 days until the pile gets high enough to fill the dishwasher, then transfer them all at once.

I've bought 8-10 products I've seen in the Tank, but Simple Sugars is the only one I continue to use and re-order. (I even tried making my own once, in a fit of thriftiness, but it wasn't as nice.)

It was emotional for me seeing Earl getting a little teary. I don't know what his past was -- obviously not good -- but he has turned things around for himself and seems like such a sweet person. I know he had his hopes up about getting the use of his arm back, but I think the rest of us knew the likelihood of that was near zero. Hopefully his pain level will continue to decrease. Tania's uncertainty about Pierre was pretty funny. He's a dog, Tania! Not all that different than the hundreds of other dogs you deal with every day. Nice that they finally got to fly out of state for a home visit instead of spending days on the damned road. I didn't quite understand why the spiral staircase was impossible for the rescue dog to walk down but the regular stairs were okay? Although Tia did carry him part of the way on those. Was it due to his (probable) arthritis?

Do they get paid for their appearance on the show? Contestants on other reality shows sometimes get more money the longer they stay.

Oh, marriages. They start out with so much hope and promise and love. If I'm converting numbers of episodes to years of weddedness, the 50-55 ep level must correlate to the 7-year itch: I'm bored with you and other shows are starting to look pret-ty good in comparison. Secret-keeping, lies, and hypocrisy aren't conducive to healthy relationships. One gets tired of one's spouse telling the same stories over and over: It's all my fault. It's me. I take all the blame. I'm sorry. It was my fault. It was my responsibility and I failed. I failed you. I failed everyone. It's too dangerous for anyone but me. It's my fault. Everything bad that happens in the world is my fault. I can't extend the marriage analogy any further, but could the writers also please stop it with this: I had no choice! They threatened my kids/son/daughter! I had no choice! They threatened my wife/husband/significant other! I had no choice! They threatened my sister/brother! I had no choice! They threatened my friend! I had no choice! They threatened my mother/father! I had no choice! They threatened a city full of strangers! Okay, yes. Maybe binging this thing in two weeks wasn't such a good idea.

The show has always skipped over the financial details of the contestants' lives during Tim's home visits. Have most of them gone back to work, or are they devoting their attention full time to their collections? If the latter, it seems like six weeks is sufficient time to make 10 outfits. Six months is just asking for procrastination and foot-dragging indecisiveness. I've also never really understood why designers arrive back in NY with so much left to finish, in addition to all the necessary alterations/model fitting. Time management, people! I'd like to see a rule change that allows finalists to hire seamstresses or contract out some work. What do I care if they personally sewed every stitch? I'd much rather see well-made pieces that are an accurate representation of the designers' ideas. Ashley would probably be getting a lot less flack if her garments had at least been well constructed.

I started out being aghast during the casting special but grew fond of Kelly. I don't understand her "girl" in any capacity but sincerely wish the best for her. It's not for everyone but I think she'd benefit a great deal from going to design school. It might broaden her perspective, which can be kind of insular and overly derivative of her own experiences and surroundings.

Ellen DeGeneres is another case in point as she's been through 3-4 DJs over the years. Finding someone verbally adept whose personality meshes with the host isn't easy. I think Stephen's problem is that he's trying to script or force what should be a spontaneous interaction. It's not necessary to talk to, or high kick with, Jon every night. Regarding the New Orleans segment, it's possible that was filmed before the show started and they really didn't know each other at all.

To focus on the least important and most minor detail of the night: tuck your damned shirt in, Wink guy. Unless "slob" was the impression you were trying to make? Oh, Americans. We want to eat foods that are fatty and sugary and delicious but without the consequences and without exercising any personal self control. Me included! But that ain't how life works, at least not yet.. Perhaps when we get those food replicators that science fiction has promised us. On the other hand, protein bars taste like metallic, powdered vomit to me and those sell by the billions so this might be a case of what do I know. I've lived at the same address for 6 years and get one or two packages a week. For some reason the post office decided they couldn't find my house recently and returned a box to Amazon. (In a nice nod to Shark Tank, it was a shipment of Cottonelle adult wipes.) While I like the idea of the lockers, I agree with those who think some delivery people may lack to strength to care.

That's the only thing that irks me about D'elia -- he plays to the studio audience instead of the camera. He's not the only guest who does it, but he overdoes it.

Kimmel was a guest on The Tonight Show via satellite and he took the opportunity to go after Leno. This is a brief explanation by Kimmel on why he hates Leno (no reason, really).

Very nice interview with Hillary tonight, including the segment with the kids.

The plus size models were horrible walkers. Yikes. I was impressed at how improved Kelly's collection was from her 3-piece preview but still loathed every bit of that cheap L'eggs Suntan pantyhose fabric. Thought she was the best of a bad lot, though. Congratulations to Ashley and her "bravery" I guess. So very, very courageous to be fat in fashion.

I didn't make it through the Pi segment. Like Lou Grant, I hate spunk.

I only recently started watching and am halfway through season 2. Liking the show overall but Oliver's unchanging, ugly beard-scruff bugs me so much! Perhaps I'll be treated to a shave in upcoming episodes but I doubt it. I also hate his haircut, but that's slightly less intense. Whew, Aaaaand breathe.

I'm starting to appreciate the Resnicks and their dogs (new white one last night, right?) more these days. The girls all dream-dating Italian boyfriends was pretty funny. I forgot what exactly, but the dad actually said something this time. His stolid demeanor is a nice contrast to the girls' excitability.

The interview with the Netflix guy may have achieved a new record for one syllable responses. If nothing else, the ratio of Stephen's words to Hastings' words was at least 50 to 1. The entire segment was 5 minutes. Why bother.

Trevor and the writers had some fun with Iowa for sure. "I hadn't even heard of it until 3 months ago." And while (Trump aside) I usually think digs at someone's looks are uncalled for, the Iowa guy did look like a hybrid of Costanza and Newman.

From what I've seen in the media about them, the entire family operates under the assumption that both sons are hetero. Speculation here may differ. :) Sam sits next to his dad and is the older son. Seemed like the editors had fun showing up Julie and Brandy with Diana Ross' son clips. You two aren't the only ones who know who he is! It would have been super funny if the grannies had mentioned it, but then, they're unaware of YOLO and MILF. How have I watched so much TV and never heard about lingerie football teams? That was ... something.

Flying vs planking -- discuss.

I'm not sure why the editors were so enthralled with multiple shots of Julie and Brandy eating chips and salsa, but even that made me laugh. Teddi's world-weary attitude is starting to grow on me: "My kids have had eight weddings." She's over it. Supergirl: "Is this guy going to turn around and be sexy? Come on, no whammies!" And Princella brings it home: "What position would you play on a women's football team?" "The coach."

"Kevin, you're dead to me."

Didn't nut allergy guy said they gave him hives? It didn't sound life-threatening or anything, but I may have misheard or the editors left something out.
